Kathryn #3 (API 42-317-33953) is a well in Martin County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed May 19, 2023 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2021.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1986 and 1993, permitted to 11,820 ft.

It was permitted by R K Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Grayburg, Spraberry, Dean, Strawn.

Its lease has reported 755K barrels of oil and 1.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
